House shifting in Karachi, flat or bungalow

House shifting in Karachi starts with the building

In most cities, a house move starts with the furniture. In Karachi it often starts with the building. A large share of Karachi families live in apartments, from older blocks in Nazimabad and Gulshan-e-Iqbal to towers in Clifton, Gulistan-e-Johar and along Shahrah-e-Faisal. Each building has its own rules, and house shifting in Karachi goes smoothly only when those rules are part of the plan.

Before your moving day we ask about:

• Permission. Does the management or association need a written request? Is there a move-out fee or a clearance for maintenance dues?
• Lift. Is there a service lift? What size is it, and which hours can it be booked?
• Power. When does load shedding hit your block? A lift without power turns a two-hour job into a five-hour one.
• Parking. Can a 17 or 20 ft container stand at the gate, or will it block the lane?

Flats, houses and bungalows

Houses in North Nazimabad, Federal B Area and Gulshan-e-Iqbal often have a ground floor and one or two portions above, with narrow staircases. Bungalows in DHA Karachi and Clifton have more rooms, heavy wooden furniture and many split ACs.

House shifting in Karachi across the city

Many house moves in Karachi cross the city. Common ones are from Gulshan or Johar out to Bahria Town Karachi and Scheme 33 on the Super Highway, from Saddar and Garden toward DHA, and from North Karachi to the newer blocks of Gulistan-e-Johar. These routes pass some of the busiest roads in the country, so we load early and keep the container off Shahrah-e-Faisal and University Road at office hours.

Large vehicles are restricted on many city roads in the daytime. If your move needs a 24 ft container, it may reach your street in the early morning or late evening; we tell you the timing when we confirm the booking.

What house shifting in Karachi includes

• Packing every room, with crockery and glass in double-wall cartons
• Dismantling beds, wardrobes and dining tables, and fitting them again
• Split AC, fan and LED dismantling and fitting by our technicians
• A closed container so the sea air, dust and rain stay out
• Loading, transport, unloading and setting up room by room
• A supervisor whose number you keep from packing to the last carton

Karachi weather and your goods

Karachi's damp sea air is hard on wooden furniture and electronics, so we wrap them before they leave the room. In June and July we start at first light to avoid the worst heat. In the monsoon, low roads and underpasses can flood after heavy rain, and we move the date rather than risk your goods in standing water.

House shifting from Karachi to other cities

Families moving from Karachi to Lahore, Islamabad or Rawalpindi usually load in one day; the container then runs north on the M-9 and the motorways through Sukkur and Multan. For a small home, a shared load costs less than a full vehicle. To send your car on the same day, book our car carrier in Karachi.

Choosing house shifting in Karachi you can trust

When you compare quotes for house shifting in Karachi, check that the company will deal with your building office, that it sends its own packers rather than daily labour, and that the quotation is in writing. A cheap quote that leaves you arguing with the building guard on moving day is not cheap.
